Amaro Freitas is a highly acclaimed Brazilian jazz pianist and composer who is pioneering a distinct, contemporary sound in global jazz, moving beyond traditional Brazilian styles.

His unique technique often incorporates complex time signatures and features elements of prepared piano, where he places objects inside the instrument to generate unique sounds, notably used in his album Y’Y to evoke the Amazon rainforest. His work, including the album Sankofa, explores themes of Black ancestry and social justice, seamlessly blending the intellectual rigor of post-bop jazz with the rich, spiritual, and rhythmic heritage of his African-Brazilian roots.

Miki Berenyi Trio with Gina Birch and The Unreasonables
2025-10-28 19:00 - 23:30 | The Roxy, 9009 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, California
Miki Berenyi began her career as a recording artist in 1989, as co-founder of the band Lush, releasing a series of EPs (Scar, Mad Love and Black Spring compiled as Gala) and LPs (Spooky, Split and Lovelife) on the iconic 4AD label. The band toured extensively, many times in the US — with Ride, Babes in Toyland, Jane’s Addiction, Flaming Lips, Weezer and, most notably, as openers on the 1992 Lollapalooza tour.
Lush split in 1996, and Miki retired from music, but a 2015-16 Lush reunion tour, which included a Coachella date and release of an EP Blond Spot, revived her enthusiasm and she formed Piroshka, who released two albums on Bella Union: Brickbat (2019) and Love Drips and Gathers (2021).
When the global pandemic made touring impossible, Miki spent the lockdown months writing her memoir, Fingers Crossed, released in 2022 to widespread acclaim. To provide some musical accompaniment for the string of book events and signings, Miki Berenyi Trio was formed, with her partner Kevin ‘Moose’ McKillop on guitar and Oliver Cherer on bass (both had played in Piroshka).
The band has developed a momentum of its own and they are now writing new songs, inserted into the set of Lush and Piroshka tracks as they continue to fulfil live bookings, with a plan to record and release an album in 2024. For the US dates, they will be joined by Michael Conroy — also a founder member of Piroshka and Modern English.
